General Chair of WWW'13


*SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP*


Web Intelligence consists of a multidisciplinary area dealing with
exploiting data and services over the Web, to create new data and services
using both Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) techniques. Communities appear as a first-class object in
the areas of web intelligence and agent technologies, as well as a crucial
crossroads of several sub-domains (i.e. user modelling, protocols, data
management, data mining, content modelling, etc.). These sub-domains impact
the nature of the communities

and the applications which are related to them. These applications are
numerous, and the success of well-known Social Network Sites for
entertainment should not be allowed to over-shadow the other application
domains, for instance in education, health, design, knowledge management,
and so forth.


The workshop will provide presentation and discussion opportunities for
researchers working on web intelligence applied to collaborative networks,
such as virtual communities. The possibilities and consequences of the web
usage for collaborative networks are tremendous

and new tools are required to satisfy users and service providers.


The workshop Web Intelligence and Communities expects contributions on
topics such as:

 Multi-agent models and tools for Virtual Communities (VC)

 Services and Grid Services for VC, Service oriented architectures

 Web information mining, filtering and retrieval within/for VC

 Web-based applications and platforms for VC

 Intelligent web interaction, querying, diffusion

 Semantics and ontology engineering for VC

 Self-* models and techniques for VC

 Social networks modelling, virtual communities, social intelligence

 Context-based approach, profile management, personalization and
recommendations for/through VC

 Privacy preserving, security, trust-based computing & reputation systems

 Applications: E-* (market, procurement, technologies, health, government,
etc.) and VC

 VC and content and knowledge repositories, behaviour modelling and exchange

 Web intelligence, mobility and VC, Ambient Intelligence, Pervasive
computing

 Performances evaluation, experiments, user feed-back

 Surveys on WI and VC

 Semantic Web technologies for Social Data integration and fusion

 Human-based behaviour patterns and modelling



*SUBMISSIONS*


The Web Intelligence and Communities workshop welcomes the submission of
theoretical,
